Xbox dissenters claim that support for the console in the Land of the Rising Sun is scarce at best, but as we creep closer and closer to TGS 2001 Spring, more titles are making their way out of the woodwork. Two such titles come to us from Idea Factory, creators of multiple PlayStation and PS2 titles based on the Spectral Force series.

The first title, entitled X Chaser, is an Action RPG based on the Spectral Forces series, with support for up to 4 players. The game will feature over 25 stages of monster-bashing, spell-casting excitement and each environment will change as combat wreaks havoc on surrounding area. The game is being developed by Xpec Entertainment, and as of yet, they are undecided as to whether or not the game's multiplayer aspects will be network-compatible or not. Due to the current forecast for Online gaming on the Xbox, we're guessing it will end up being offline only.

The second game, Neverland Saga is a fantasy RPG Trading Card title also based on Idea Factory's trademark series, but outside this, little is known about the game's focus, but due to the nature of the title, it probably won't be hitting our shores any time soon.

Both Idea Factory projects are slated for a Winter 2001 release on the Xbox (yes, the apparently buy that whole "it's really launching this year" rumor, too *wink, wink*), and IGN Xbox will be back with a report on both titles from TGS, so be sure to check back for the latest info.
